Hi.
Displayed where exactly? To the left of Welcome; directly to the left of their Name; or to the right of their name?

Hi there Directly after their name Many thanks I haven't forgot about this - but everything I try, it places the avatar in the wrong spot. I'm still working on it, but if someone else can get the solution to you first, I'm certainly not going to object.  Maybe Kami and/or elli know the solution to this. EDIT: I've been trying variations on this line in the Forum Wrapper:
<span> Welcome, $[current_user.name].</span> $[logout_link]
by inserting $[current_user.avatar_quote] in there in various places (inside and outside the <span>) - but it keeps insisting on appending it to my navbar. I had originally thought it should look like this:
<span> Welcome, $[current_user.name] $[current_user.avatar_quote].</span> $[logout_link]
but it doesn't seem to want to follow that logically. I tested that on a vanilla theme on my test forum. |

Lynx without seeing your forum to confirm, i hazard the guess that the problem is that this is in a <span> tag and the avatar variable is already contained within a <div> tag, like so: <div class="avatar-wrapper avatar_size_quote avatar-1" title="Kami"><img src="//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/defaultavatar.png" alt="Kami Avatar"></div>
You'd need to do a little restructuring of this particular div via css in order to get it to show properly adjacent to the name.

Thanks for the reply, Kami! Test forum is here: codesndesigns.boards.net/Image of result:  It ends up after the Admin link in the navbar, instead of to the right of MSG - and pushes the Logout link and clock to the next line. I'm stumped. |

I'm stumped. Have you modified the CSS at all? You'll probably also need to modify the menu bar in of itself, HTML-wise. You cannot have a div inside a span, and that is what the avatar variable outputs. |

I don't believe I've modified the CSS - just added a few <div>'s in the templates for some plugins, but not in that area. Even if I put it outside the <span>:
<span> Welcome, $[current_user.name].</span>$[current_user.avatar_quote] $[logout_link]
I get the same result as the image above. It's from this section in the Forum Wrapper:
<p id="welcome">
{if !$[current_user.is_member]}
Welcome Guest.
{if $[login_link] || $[register_link]}
Please $[login_link]{if $[login_link] && $[register_link]} or {/if}$[register_link].
<span id="liveclock"></span>
{/if}
{else}
<span> Welcome, $[current_user.name].</span>$[current_user.avatar_quote] $[logout_link]
<span id="liveclock"></span>
{/if}
</p>
if that helps. EDIT: Here's my entire Forum Wrapper template:

Hon, I think you're misunderstanding me :X
$[current_user.avatar_quote] out puts a div containing the image tag. the div will always force any surrounding content to shove to a different line. it isn't anything special, just basic HTML.
In order to accomplish this, the navigation menu as well as the output div will need to be modified, both in HTML and CSS. (For clarity -- I asked if you had made any modifications not because of a conflict, but because they are needed).
In short, you cannot simply just stick the variable in by itself. (:

(: Can I **facepalm** myself now?  Can I blame it on lack of sleep and coffee? Thank you, Kami! I think I'd better leave this to someone more qualified, then - because, to be honest, I'm not sure of all what would have to be changed to make this work. Thanks for your replies, Kami - I appreciate it! Sorry, Yorko - I thought I could just plug in a template variable, but this is not the case - obviously. My apologies for not being able to help you with this. Hopefully someone can get you the solution you need. |

So as I mentioned, displaying a person's avatar next to their name in the WELCOME message on the Navigation bar isn't very easy, because the variable you would use to do this outputs a div. The best way to do this would be to modify the entire navigation to allow for the div to show properly rather than pushing all the content aside.
To accomplish this, we'll need to make a couple of edits.
1. Go to admin > structure > layout templates > forum wrapper. Make sure to select the correct theme you want to see these changes on (if you have more than one theme that you want to have this effect on, you'll need to repeat these instructions per theme).
2. Next, scroll down to find where it says <p id="welcome">. Then, continue scrolling until you see the closing </p> (it should be right before a </div>).
3. Replace both instances of "p" with "div", so they read <div id="welcome"> and </div>, respectively.
4. Just above the closing </p> you'll see a line that says <span> Welcome, $[current_user.name].</span> $[logout_link]. We are going to change that to the following HTML instead:
<div class="welcome-message-greeting">Welcome $[current_user.name].</div><div class="welcome-message-logout">$[logout_link]</div> $[current_user.avatar_quote]
5. Save your changes. This will look weird right now. That's okay, keep going.
6. Navigate to admin > themes > advanced styles & css. On this page, near the top-left, you'll see two tabs: Visual Editor and Stylesheet. You want Stylesheet. Again, make sure you have the correct theme selected as well.
7. Once you're on the style sheet, scroll all the way down and ignore all the code you see there. At the bottom, you're going to click into the text box, tap ENTER two times, and copy/paste the following CSS:
/* ========================================
START - Add Current User Icon to Welcome Nav Bar
==========================================*/
.welcome-message-greeting {
float: left;
padding-right: 0.5em;
}
.welcome-message-logout {
float: right;
padding-left: 0.5em;
}
/* ========================================
END - Add Current User Icon to Welcome Nav Bar
==========================================*/
8. Save your changes. The welcome message should now display "Welcome [Display Name]. [Icon] Logout." Note that this is only for logged in users and guests will not have an icon displayed.
